Family Works is provided by Presbyterian Support Southland.

At the heart of Family Works is the understanding that family life can be challenging, no matter what your experience and resources. So, we work from the basis that strong, self-sufficient families are the best places to grow happy and healthy children, and that the family is the backbone of each and every community.

Our services are free, confidential and available to children, young people and their families. We work with children and young people from 0-17 years old, as well as their parents and families.

Our work is about empowering families to help themselves as they face the inevitable challenges of family life and to work with them so they can flourish.

• Group parenting programmes
• Social work and counselling
• Young parents
• Family start
• Strengthening families
